Mentor acquires Oasys: Hitting a Home Run with Synthesis

Wednesday, December 18th, 2013

 

Who says the last week before the holidays needs to be dull: Mentor Graphics has just announced it’s acquiring Oasys Design Systems.

* The Money: “Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.”

There’s a surprise.

* The Technology: “Oasys RealTime is a next-generation RTL physical synthesis technology [that] enables faster turnaround times and the capacity to synthesize the entire top level of the largest designs, all while being physically aware for better correlation with physical design. Its ‘placement first’ synthesis methodology and integrated RTL floorplanning capability enable physical backend issues to be analyzed and addressed at RTL stages before hand-off to the back-end groups for physical design implementation.”

Turns out the conversation [read “innovation”] in EDA around synthesis, P&R and whack-a-mole is still underway.

* Mentor’s Interest in Synthesis: “This acquisition aligns with Mentor’s goal to deliver a best-in-class digital implementation platform to address the performance, power and area challenges at advanced nodes.”

Interesting.

HAPS-70: a distinguished provenance

Monday, November 12th, 2012

 

If you’re an IP developer, or somebody who develops SoCs where blocks of IP land, Synopsys is announcing a product today that will be of interest: the HAPS-70 Series. It’s a prototyping system with a distinguished provenance that runs your ASIC-targeted design on FPGAs for validation prior to tape-out.

HAPS-70 started its journey to your work place way back in 1987 when Sweden-based HARDI Electronics was founded. The folks at HARDI developed the original HAPS prototyping system, which became part of Synplicity’s arsenal in 2007 when HARDI was acquired by SYNP, and the product was relaunched as HAPS-54.

Gary Meyers was President and CEO of Synplicity at the time, and was quoted: “This is a major strategic move for Synplicity. We will be able to immediately leverage our existing ASIC verification products (Certify, Synplify Premier, Identify, and Identify Pro) by selling them together with the HARDI ASIC prototyping boards.”
